"General, this is the scabbard of the scimitar you captured.
My subordinates have found it for you."
Chu Ge walked over and said with both hands, holding up a beautiful and gorgeous scimitar scabbard inlaid with several brilliant gems.
Zhao Ziliang took the scabbard and asked, "Have Blehan, Mrs.
Wang and Blacksmith Fu come back?"
Chu Ge said: "They are hiding in a pile of dune sand ten miles away.
My subordinates have sent someone to notify them of their return."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Okay, let the brothers clean up the battlefield.
We will spend half a day here today to count all the trophies and retrieve all the horses that can be recovered."
"Nuo" Chu Ge agreed and went off.
Zhao Ziliang then looked at the scabbard in his hand, and then took out the Damascus knife and looked at it.
This scimitar was extremely sharp.
It could cut an ordinary steel knife into two pieces with one cut without any resistance.
It's like cutting iron into clay.
This kind of Damascus scimitar has a weird shape and is very different from the scimitars used by northern nomads.
The scimitars used by northern nomads are like a crescent moon, with the blade on the outside, while this Damascus scimitar has a blade close to the handle.
The part is an arch, with the blade on the inside.
Both of these scimitars are very suitable for cavalry to chop.
The difference is that the Damascus scimitar is very well forged, and each handle is made of artisans.
A lot of effort was put into it.
Not only is it extremely sharp, but its blade and scabbard are also very luxuriously decorated.
There are special moire patterns on the blade.
These moire patterns make it sharp and tough.
The handle and scabbard are inlaid with gems. , the production is very small, each handle is priceless, and generally only nobles can hold it, while the moon-shaped scimitar is more common, the production is large, and ordinary northern nomadic knights are equipped with it.
Although the Damascus scimitar in his hand was priceless, Zhao Ziliang didn't like it.
As long as he was not used to it, he played with it a few times and put it into the finger space.
At night, Chu Ge came to report to Zhao Ziliang that all the loot had been counted and piled up in a special tent.
Most of the scattered horses had been recovered, and more than 750 cannibal horses were captured.
Zhao Ziliang entered the tent alone and packed all the seizures into the finger space, even the food and wine brought by the big eater.
The next morning, after breakfast, Zhao Ziliang ordered the bodies of his dead soldiers to be buried.
Then all members of the mission set off and continued to move towards Kang State.
He believed that after this time, the cannibals would not dare to act rashly again.
At this time, there were only 150 people left in his envoy team.
On February 28, the twenty-seventh year of Kaiyuan, Zhao Ziliang and his party finally crossed the dense water and arrived near Samajian City, the capital of Kangju Kingdom.
The royal palace in the city.
"Great Khan, the Tang Dynasty's envoy has crossed the dense water this morning and is coming to our city of Samad.
Can we send officials out of the city to greet them?
Please tell me whether we should send officials out of the city to greet them," a minister said after leaving the mission and saluting.
At this time, the intelligence officer Mr.
Mu came out and said: "Great Khan, according to reliable information, the Great Eater sent 800 elite cavalry to attack the Tang Dynasty mission that day.
Unexpectedly, not only did they fail to eliminate the Datang mission, but they also ended up...
The whole army was wiped out, but the Tang Dynasty mission only lost more than 70 people.
I heard that Alapu was so angry that he smashed several vases in the past two days, and many of the Dashi soldiers who stayed in the city were whipped by him."
Chu He looked worriedly at the civil and military ministers and officials on the left and right sides and asked: "What do you think should be done?"
A minister stood up and said: "Great Khan, I suggest you call General Arap and ask for his opinion."

Another official stopped and pointed at this person and got angry: "Humph, I think you are a cannibal.
It is true that our country, Kangju, surrenders to the big food country, but we don't have to listen to them in everything.
If it is In this case, where do you put the sweat?"
"you" "It's enough to make a fuss, what's the point?"
A minister stood up and shouted loudly, finally calming down the quarrel.
He saluted Chu He and said: "Khan, no matter what, the Tang Dynasty envoy came from afar, we must use Receive them with the proper etiquette.
This has nothing to do with the two countries.
What kind of relationship is this?
This is the etiquette between countries.
As for the cannibal, we can completely ignore him now.
He lost 800 elites and only has more than 200 people left.
If he wants to use this small force to deter our country, That’s wishful thinking, Khan, we don’t have to be afraid of him at all.”
After thinking about it, Chu He felt that it made sense, and asked: "Then if the envoy of the Tang Dynasty proposed that we send troops to attack Tuqishi, would I agree or not?
If so, how many troops would be sent?"
"Great Khan, I think it is best for our country not to get involved in this matter.
Our country's military strength is not large, and the cannibals are showing off their power in our country.
Our country is really powerless.
We do not prevent the envoys of the Tang Dynasty from going to other places.
If they can persuade other countries to send troops, that is a matter between them.
Our country must not But it is too stimulating for the great cannibal.
If the Tang Dynasty can defeat Tu Qishi this time, then the power and influence of the Tang Dynasty in the north will be greatly increased.
At that time, we will move closer to the Tang Dynasty and rely on the Tang Dynasty to contain the great cannibal country.
Between Dashi and the Tang Dynasty, our country will surrender to whoever is stronger.
This is the way for our country to survive between the Dashi and the Tang Dynasty."
Chu Hearing this, he nodded his head, "Well, yes, this is a good suggestion.
Our country will handle its relations with the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food Kingdom in accordance with this suggestion in the future.
Mr.
Pei Luo, I ordered you to lead all the officials out of the city to welcome the Tang Dynasty."
Envoys, please do not neglect etiquette, otherwise I will only ask you."
"Wei Chen understands, Great Khan" Zhao Ziliang and his party received a very warm welcome before they reached the gate of Samadhi City.
He knew in his heart that all this was due to the treatment he received from wiping out the eight hundred food army.
Kang The country has always been held hostage by the cannibal, and he does not dare to have too close contact with the Tang Dynasty.
He has to obey the order of the cannibal in everything.
He does not have much hope in persuading Kang Juguo to send troops to attack Tuqishi.
On the first day of March, Zhao Ziliang entered the palace under the guidance of the attendants of Kangju King's Palace to meet King Chuhe of Kangju Kingdom.
"The envoy of the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Ziliang, met with the Great Khan" Chu He was surprised to see Zhao Ziliang so young.
He asked Zhao Ziliang to sit down and immediately started talking to him.
He asked Zhao Ziliang some information about the Tang Dynasty.
Zhao Ziliang himself was not very clear about it, but he answered Chu He's question.
You have to be able to do it with ease.
Basically, every question only gives a general outline, without detailed and in-depth answers.
Chu He asked so many questions, but it was all in vain.
He couldn't find out anything.
Finally, he had to ask Zhao Ziliang's purpose of coming: "I don't know why General Zhao came to my land with the nine surnames of Zhaowu this time."
Zhao Ziliang said: "We asked the Great Khan to send troops to jointly attack Tuqishi.

Tuqishi is causing trouble to all directions in the north.
It will be beneficial to all the countries with the nine surnames of Zhaowu to pacify Tuqishi earlier.
At least it can allow the Silk Road With unobstructed traffic, the Kangju Kingdom of the Great Khan will also benefit a lot."
Chu He shook his head resolutely and said: "Please forgive me, general.
It's not that I don't want to give Datang and the general this face.
It's because our country is weak, has few soldiers and generals, and the relationship between the Shi Kingdom in the north and our country is tense.
I don't want to be associated with the Shi Kingdom." " Zhao Ziliang has never understood why the relationship between Shi Kingdom and Kang Juguo has developed so much.
King Mohechu Tutun of Shi Kingdom is very taboo about this and keeps silent about it.
Now in the Kangju Kingdom, Zhao Ziliang still wanted to understand the reason, so he said: "Great Khan, as far as I know, King Mohechu Tutun of the Shi Kingdom seems to be your father-in-law.
Logically speaking, the relationship between the two countries should be very close.
Yes, why are you becoming so hostile now?”
But he didn't expect Chu He's face to change after hearing this, and he waved his hand and said: "General, don't worry about this matter.
The general and the envoy you brought can stay in our country of Kang for a longer time, and the general can continue to go south."
Or go west to lobby other Zhaowu countries, this Khan will never If there are other Zhaowu countries willing to send troops, I will allow their troops to pass through our territory and go to the north.
However, I also ask the general not to do anything harmful to our country in our territory, otherwise I will not guarantee that the general and the Security of the Mission”.
Zhao Ziliang sighed secretly when he heard this.
He knew that it was impossible to persuade Kang Juguo to send troops, so he had to stand up and leave: "In that case, I have to say goodbye first and please ask the Great Khan to stamp his seal on the general's customs clearance document."
After the customs clearance document has the seal of the King of Kang, you can travel unimpeded in the territory of Kang, which will save most of the trouble.
"Yes."
Chu He agreed and waved to the chamberlain: "Bring me the Khan's seal."
"Yes, Khan" The mission rested in Samatjian City for two days.
Zhao Ziliang also observed the surrounding terrain inside and outside Samatjian City during these two days, and drew a map in detail.
Samat built the city on the south bank of the Nami River.
There were sufficient water resources and a large amount of fertile farmland.
The terrain was flat and it was a good place.
This was later known as Samarkand.
After replenishing enough drinking water, purchasing enough food, grass and other daily necessities, the mission set off towards the southeast.
To the southeast of Kang State is the country of Mi, one of the nine surnames of Zhaowu.
This country of Mi is not the United States.
The king of Mi Country is the brother of King Chuhe of Kang State.
Therefore, the two countries almost advance and retreat together politically, and their relationship is extraordinary.
The capital of the United States is called Boxide City.
It is one hundred and fifty miles southeast of the city where Samad was built, and also on the south bank of the dense water.
The Hu Xuan Dance is as popular here as in Kang State.
The Hu Xuan Dance was popular in the Tang Dynasty.
It is especially popular in Chang'an.
The noble and high-ranking officials in Chang'an are proud to have Hu girls who can dance the Hu Xuan dance.
For this reason, many businessmen see this business opportunity and continue to sell Hu girls from Kang or the United States to Chang'an.
The current king of the United States is called Mochu, who is the younger brother of King Chuhe of Kang.
They are both sons of Ulga, the former king of Kang.
There was no surprise.
When Zhao Ziliang met with Mochu and proposed that the United States send troops to jointly attack Tuqishi, Mochu also politely refused.
He also did not express hostility towards Datang, and also promised that if the Shi Kingdom in the south was willing, Mochu would To send troops, he expressed his willingness to borrow the passage.
Zhao Ziliang had no choice but to express his gratitude and asked Mo Sip to put a seal on the customs clearance document.
Zhao Ziliang returned to the embassy with the customs clearance document stamped with a seal, and led the delegation to continue on the road to Shiguo in the south on the next day. go ahead
